The hotly anticipated to sequel to 2014's sci-fi/superhero blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy, the aptly named Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 sees composer Tyler Bates working once again with director James Gunn, delivering another rousing score that's worthy of term "space opera." Just like the first installment, Bates' score is given its own release, with the classic rock-heavy soundtrack being issued under the name Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix, Vol. 2.
